After a couple of classes I have found myself being taught and experiencing information in this class that I know will help me prepare for my future as a teacher. Some of the topics that we have already covered that I have learned that I think will help me in the future is race, class, culture and how these can fit into a school curriculum. I have learned with these types of topics that myself, as a future teacher, needs to be careful with teaching these in a classroom. I know I need to be careful because not all students may have the same perspective with these topics. I also need to respect students’ cultural backgrounds since some individuals may be more sensitive than others. So when it comes to the first topic, which is race, I know

Evidence that I found that responds to this is, “This means that the curriculum is also central to producing that life, and in the case of the United States, it involves coming to terms with the history and upkeep of race. It could be argued that the curriculum is many things, but we suggest that it is knowledge relation that educators use, which helps to construct the racial world. In other words, the curriculum performs a certain work and from this purpose certain outcomes are produced”(31). So to wrap this point up I would have to pay attention to race all over the United States and how I could appropriately fit it into the curriculum that I teach in my classroom and make sure my students understand and focus the changes that are …show more content…
With culturally relevant pedagogy I learned there are principles of this that I see myself teaching in the future for my students. These principles include, “ students must experience academic success, students must develop and/ or maintain cultural competence, and students must develop a critical consciousness through which they challenge the status quo of the current social order”. I want to make sure that all my students are taught these and realize how important they are relating to culture. Another thing I learned with the culturally relevant pedagogy that I can see myself using is based on the evidence that states, “use the culture and experiences of Latinx, African American, Asian American, Native American, and White Americans not part of mainstream culture as a scaffold to learning”(Gay,2004). Going off of this evidence given in a power point I learned in class I can completely agree that by using the culture experiences listed above to use this as a learning experience for students we can expose them to different cultures and the history behind each one of them. I have also learned by teaching different cultures you have to be very careful because I won’t know how my students will react if they are sensitive to a type of culture and its background. Another fact that I learned involving culture is that I
